And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Top Ten Reasons I Married My Best Friend

10. He loves to eat! (good or bad I don't know..)
9.  We love to go on trips together.
8.  He loves ice cream too!
7.  He is always making up songs or saying stuff to make me laugh.
6.  We both love good hot wings! And NOT weenie wings either!
5.  We met at Silver Dollar City 8 years ago today and is one of our favorite places to play.
4.  We ate at Devil's Pool at Big Cedar Lodge on our honeymoon and it's one of our favorite places to eat (i    think I'm seeing a pattern here of food. hmmm.. oh well.)
3.  He is always very supportive and encourages me.
2.  He is extremely helpful around the house and with the kids. Did I score or what!
1.  He loves me unconditionally, deeply, and he is faithful to me and our children. God had made him into quite and amazing man. I love him just for being John.

8 years ago today I married my best friend John. It saddens me that people take marriage way to lightly these days. Truthfully it's a pet peeve of mine! The covenant I made with John I also made with God. Our marriage takes three God, John, and myself. We couldn't do make it daily without God's continual presence and work in our lives. We need him desperately!

Love you John! Looking forward to many more years together. Happy Anniversary!
